This trial compares two methods for exchanging a breathing tube: using a bronchoscope (a thin camera) versus a special guide called an airway exchange catheter. It is conducted on Thiel-embalmed body donors to find the safest and most effective way to replace a breathing tube.
This study tests a new device that helps doctors place a breathing tube during training. It compares the new tool with the standard method to see if it works better.
This trial compares two different devices (a video laryngeal mask and a video laryngoscope) used to help you breathe during surgery. It aims to see which tool works better for placing a breathing tube in patients having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
This trial tests three tools doctors use to place a breathing tube during general anesthesia. It aims to find which device works best on the first try for adults having surgery.
This study tests whether a special viewing tool (hyperangulated videolaryngoscope) can safely help doctors place breathing tubes in patients undergoing surgery. Researchers want to understand which patients it works best for and when it might not be effective.
This trial tests a new device (Origin Intubation System) to help doctors place a breathing tube during surgery. If you are having planned surgery with general anesthesia and need a breathing tube, this study may be for you.
